CLEVELAND, Ohio — Cleveland police are conducting an internal review on how the NFL received a copy of police reports regarding a fight involving ex-Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt in a downtown Cleveland hotel.

The city previously released records that said the NFL did not ask for the Feb. 10 police report until TMZ published surveillance video of the fight that showed Hunt shove people and kick a woman.

The city, however, said that an unidentified Cleveland police officer gave the report to the NFL, allowing them to skip the police department’s response to the records being released in connection with the incident at the Metropolitan at The 9 hotel.

The surveillance video published by TMZ shows Hunt fighting with a woman, being held back by friends, shoving a man into a woman, who appeared to hit her head on a wall. He then kicked her while she was in a crouched position.

Cleveland police never obtained the hotel’s surveillance video and did not assign the case to a detective for follow-up because the woman appeared to suffer only minor injuries, making the case a misdemeanor crime.

Officers told her at the time that she could pursue charges by taking the report and her statement to the Cleveland City Prosecutor’s office, which is typical in a case where officers at the scene are unable to determine a primary aggressor in a fight.

Police body camera video shows the woman who was attacked telling officers she asked a hotel employee to look at the surveillance video. She told officers the employee declined to show her the video and said: “That’s what you get for being a slut.”

Hunt told police at the time that he was sleeping during the incident, according to police reports. He later admitted in an ESPN interview to lying to the NFL and the Chiefs.
